For Cattlerancher and anyone else:
You can do them 2 different ways from the Windows Desktop Home & Business program.  Either Online using Quick Employer Forms (QEF)  -or- directly on your computer with the built in W2/1099 Reporter.

In the Window's Home & Business Desktop program to Prepare W2s or 1099s, click the big blue button to Start a New Return or go up to File-New Tax Return.
Then on the next screen it asks What would you like to do?

If you get a screen with 2 choices, Check the second circle that says Prepare W-2s and 1099s for my employees or contractors.  Then that will expand and give you a choice to prepare them online or on your computer.

If you get a screen that says Continue your Tax Return and a box listing your returns then go up to FILE - New Tax Return again and you should get a box to pick the type of return you need to prepare.  Pick US Forms W-2/1099 Reporter

When you are logged into your account at Quick Employer Forms you can print the 1099 or W-2 forms for your recipients and your own records. Then hand deliver the forms to them personally or mail them.

Or did you use the built in W2/Reporter program in the Desktop program for Windows?  You give them Copy B and copy 2 if there is one.  You may have to cut them apart from the printouts.  There may be more than 1 person per page.
